how does one...find a writing partner? exactly?

Sheer dumb luck and a dash of stupidity/bravery. For the dumb luck portion, we had the same movie as a hyper focus/special interest, were writing the same ot3, were similarly crazy, and were active in the same fan group . As for the stupidity/braver we shared our AO3 handles on a post about fanfic and got lucky that our trauma/kinks/writing styles lined up pretty well.

Then we just started writing in our fandom and eventually branched off into original works.

plotted starter for @ofginjxints ♥

Delilah tapped her fingers idly against the metal hood of her car that she'd been leaning against. How long did it take people to actually leave prison after incarceration? It would likely depend but it felt like she'd been waiting an age for Mateo to step through the gates. The thought made her stomach twist with an emotion that she couldn't quite place yet. How long had it actually been since she'd seen him? Sometimes it felt like yesterday that she'd last laid eyes on him but she know it was probably closer to twenty years.

So much had happened within that time that the redhead thought of fondly, none more fonder than him. Mateo was her teenage dream, basically eighteen year old Dolly's reason for existing. He was a bad boy at his very core and that never much impressed her mama and daddy, they always preferred other boys, any boys really. But she was in love and that was more important than life itself. Until, it all imploded in their faces and she was left heartbroken.

She hadn't kept up with him, nor had she thought of him too much over the years; an incredibly successful career under her belt and a less than successful marriage saw to that. Only when a mutual friend they shared informed her that he was getting out of prison and would perhaps need some support, did she let herself consider him again. A loner, even then, it seemed that old habits died hard, their mutual friend informing her about how even now, Mateo kept his circle small and didn't when she bumped into him at the car-wash.

So lost in her thoughts, Dolly didn't immediately respond when the old metal gates began to shift, only straightening her posture when they began screeching against the ground. "Teo!" she called out, casual use of the nickname she used for him slipping out with nostalgic ease. She offered a shy wave but the woman stayed still to allow him to come to her. She wasn't sure how he would respond, would he even want to see her?

Fan Fiction Author Seeks Pen Pal

So Jason writes fan fiction, mostly Animorphs but he has thoughts for Scooby Doo, Inspector Gadget, Ghostbusters, and a few others. He's in federal prison (Fort Dix, Low Security, New Jersey) which is a long story.

He is looking for a writing partner willing to type up his handwritten chapters and post them to Patreon first and AO3 six months later. His writing partner will split Patreon proceeds.

I can manage his accounts for him but I cannot take on the writing stuff. His goal is 8 chapters a month (2 chapters a week), $6 per sub per month. Given Patreon's payout structure, if he can get 1000 subs, that's $2760 per month for typing 8 chapters (Jason said he had over 9000 readers on AO3 and he's hoping he can get 10% of that readership to subscribe to Patreon). It's not a bad gig for anyone interested, I just can't do it.

Email animorphsfanfic@gmail.com if interested.

Must be okay receiving mail from a federal prison. PO box preferred but not required.

Writing With A Partner

January 3, 2024|Blogging

Have you ever considered a writing partner? There are a lot of reasons that would benefit both parties. You have someone to bounce ideas off of. You can share the workload and get instant feedback. Of course, you give up full control over the project and half to share the credit. But someone always has your back, so that is a plus. Another way is to join a writing group if you are not ready to go one-on-one. Just keep in mind, that having a writing partner can keep you focused and committed. But no matter what you decide, remember, "Enjoy the Write!" KSCarson

Quinn needed to keep her eyes on the road, lest she hit another pedestrian and this time actually kill them but it didn't stop her sneaking quick glances at the man's leg, trying to ascertain how much damage had been done. It was possibly a break, maybe a fracture if he was lucky but at the very least, it was a brutal sprain and he would likely struggle to walk for the next week or so. Mortified did not even cover how the woman felt as she focused on the road, swinging the car around the turn on the familiar path back to work. God, her colleagues were going to get such a kick out of this. "I'm Quinn, by the way. Figure we should be on a first name basis after almost killing you," she joked, a small attempt at adding levity to the situation.

A nervous laugh echoed in the car and she shook her head, feeling some of the tension in her shoulders drop at his joke. "Yeah, I know the feeling. I was definitely dropped as a kid, more than a few times," she offered back and she turned to look at him fully once they hit a red light. "Don't be ridiculous, I'm staying with you and then I'm driving you home afterwards. You're being way too kind to someone who just ran you over with her car."

Tristan sucked in air through his teeth as he tried to adjust his leg in some way that didn't put too much pressure on his ankle that was definitely throbbing. He lifted up his trouser leg and sure enough it was starting to swell up.

"I-" He started, though he let out a chuckle and a shake of his head. "I mean, I'm grateful you didn't just run off truth be told. It'd be just my luck to be a victim of a hit-and-run." He let out another nervous laugh. "Not currently. I was told I was dropped on my head as a kid but my mum was told there'd be no lasting effects." He wanted to dissipate some of the strangeness of the situation with a playful anecdote told in his soft Scottish lilt, he was often told his accent alone was funny enough. "But honestly, you don't need to stay with me once I'm there. I'm sure it's not life-threatening."

It takes a special kind of talent to partner with another author and co-write one cohesive story. I am always fascinated to know what their process is and how the keep the writing chemistry going. Thanks to @amazonpublishing @tlcdiversity for the gifted copy and the opportunity to be introduced to a new writing duo. QOTD: Do you enjoy writing duos? Why or Why not? 🧡 SYNOPSIS 🧡 From the authors of Tiny Imperfections comes a riotously funny, emotionally real look at race and religion, love and heartache, and the realities of parenting through it all. Self-appointed fixer of other people’s woes Marjette Lewis is uncharacteristically determined to keep to her side of the driveway when it comes to her flawless neighbor Noa Abrams. Professionally, Marjette has her hands full as she prepares for a new class of kindergarteners and her first year of teaching without her best friend, Judy, as campus “Black-up.” And at home, her son’s budding manhood challenges her expectations, and her vexing ex-husband continues to be a thorn in her side. But when tragedy strikes Marjette’s street, and an unexpected child shows up on the first day of school with an uncle who has all the class moms aflutter, Marjette is forced to contend with both her neighbor and her own heartache over losing the life she once thought was guaranteed. Through laughter, tears, and the gift of found family, Marjette and Noa navigate the rituals of loss together and discover the strength to remake their lives?whether they meant to or not. #NeverMeantToMeetYou #AlliFrank #AshaYoumans #womensfiction #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookcommunity #reading #tbr #writingpartners #writingduos #friendship #fiction #literature #books #bookish #foundfamily (at The Bushwick Collective) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjEoki5LTzU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

AuthorLifeMonth2020 . Day 13: Writer Friends . As we all know, writing can be a VERY solitary existence. Because of this I am so grateful that I have people in my life who get it. Writer friends who understand the pain of churning out a first draft. The sting of a rejection. The joy of celebratory news. Quite honestly, without wonderful writers in my life I would be a sobbing mess. . So here is a shout out to those friends. Agency and publisher sisters. Friends I’ve met through Twitter and conference panels. Those cherished souls who are part of my local writing group. And the extraordinary CPs who help make my words shine! Thanks for reminding me every day how blessed I am to be a part of this wonderful writing community. . . . #authorlifemonth2020 #writingfriends #writingfriendship #writinglife #writerlife #writingcommunity #writingcommunityofinstagram #writershelpingwriters #booklife #publishinglife #bookworld #critiquepartners #writingpartners #yawriters #yawritersofinstagram #igauthorlife https://www.instagram.com/p/B8hBS2jgUmG/?igshid=q5qhu6wigqce

plotted starter for baby angel @ofginjxints ♥

Cassidy usually loved parties but tonight seemed to be the exception. She liked hearing the bass of the music hum through her body, liked losing control under the influence of alcohol or something more illicit, liked dancing with her girlfriends and wearing something short and sexy. Not tonight though. Tonight, her boyfriend Christian was coked out of his mind and acting like a prick to almost everyone he came into contact with. It didn't surprise her in the slightest, she knew what kind of man he was; he was a full fucking criminal and not the usual 'bad boys' that she dated.

The young woman let out a long sigh, both arms resting against the railing that she was leaning against, fingers curled around an almost empty glass of champagne, watching the festivities happen on the dance floor below. Fuck this, she wanted to go home and with that thought, she turned on her heel and collided with someone, the remainder of the bubbling golden champagne splashing down her dress and on to her bare legs. "Jesus Christ," she hissed, eyes narrowing on the man before her. "Watch where you're going next time, I wanted to drink that, not wear it."
